Disturbance of mitochondrial functions has been considered as one of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis followed by kidney failure. In this study, we investigated effects of methylene blue on pancreas and kidney mitochondrial respiratory functions during experimental acute pancreatitis in rats.
